Firstly, I know this photo is terrible... this is how my photos look when I don't use my "toilet paper" trick over the flash, which is unfortunately a necessity with my crappy camera. :/ Seeing as how it takes both hands and one was in use, well, this is the best photo I could get of me holding the first moth I've reared myself in nearly 2 decades. Last time I reared moths was when I was homeschooled by the most awesome home tutor ever; cecropia moths. It was one of my best childhood memories and perhaps one of the main inspirations which sparked my passion for insects.

Life story aside, this guy is the result of the tobacco hornworm (as pictured in my gallery recently, please go look!) still a few more to go :) I love them so much. This fella sat on my finger for a long while.... :)

BETTER PHOTOS in just a moment :)
